How Jellywave Works

Set up your own Jellyfin server, install Jellywave on your Android device, and start streaming your personal media library.

Getting Started

1

Install Jellyfin Server

First, set up a Jellyfin media server on your PC, NAS, or a cloud server. Jellyfin is free and open-source — no subscriptions, no tracking.

2

Add Your Media

Point your Jellyfin server to your movie, TV show, and music folders. Jellyfin will automatically organize and fetch metadata, posters, and subtitles.

3

Download Jellywave

Install Jellywave from Google Play or download the APK directly. It's lightweight, fast, and designed specifically for Android.

4

Connect & Stream

Open Jellywave, enter your server address, log in with your credentials, and start enjoying your media library anywhere you have an internet connection.
